summary | The Monero cryptocurrency project aims to simplify payments for users unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies. Currently, Monero stealth addresses are at least 95 characters long, making them difficult to memorize or use directly in transactions. To overcome this issue, Monero is developing a solution that involves utilizing FQDNs and OpenAlias protocols.
This method works by fetching all TXT records for the provided FQDN, retrying at least three times if the lookup fails. The system then checks each record to ensure it has the correct prefix (oa1:xmr). Upon finding a match, the recipient's address is extracted and presented to the user.
To enhance security, the system confirms the validity of the address with the user and alerts them if there are no valid DNSSEC trust chains available for the FQDN. This solution aims to make Monero transactions more user-friendly by using human-readable domain names instead of long cryptographic addresses. |
